and sold Immediately to 54I2c. Pork opened
higher. at S14. so for January on very light
receipts of hogs at the yards. The govern
ment report which was incomplete, had a
bearish effect on the market, and this feel
ing was helped along by the report that NJ.

sold down to S4S4c by IL 81; the decline be
ing helped along by the weakness IN corn
At 1880 it was fairly steady at Soc. Inc
